Can anyone help me identify this bird

This cool bird has been hanging around my pond area on this bird feeder for over a week now and I am trying to figure out exactly what kind of bird it is.

Thank you

Hi ippy, You live in my old stomping grounds!

I think it's a Red-shouldered Hawk. Resin will be here early tomorrow morning to give a positive answer.

Welcome to the forum!! Pelle :-)

Hey, that puffball looks EXACTLY like the 1/2 owl, 1/2 Eagle that was in my dream the other night! LOL

It does look kind of Puffy!!

Lol Mrs Ed dream do come true after all.

Yep, Red-shouldered Hawk

Since he's perched on your birdfeeder, he must figure that he won't have to try too hard for food. I think that he eats fish as well, so in your yard he has the best of both worlds.

Great picture!!
